Salinity units in the table represent different ways of expressing salt concentration. For reference: 1 dS/m ≈ 640 mg/L ≈ 11 mM NaCl; 1 PSU ≈ 1 g/kg ≈ 1.7 dS/m ≈ 17 mM NaCl; and 1 % NaCl ≈ 10 g/L ≈ 171 mM NaCl. Units such as mM and M describe molar concentrations, dS/m reflects electrical conductivity, PSU and g/kg refer to seawater salinity, and % or mg/L are mass-based concentrations.
